Where is strPageSize defined within the code?
UPDATE I found it in config.asp.
I'm going to expand this question. Would a moderator please move this to the "Mods w/o code" forum?
I have a topic.asp hack that is outside the forum directory. One strange thing that is happening is the variables in the config.asp file are not being refreshed when I update them in the admin menu.
For example, when I change the number of posts per topic from 15 to 5, within the forum directory it changes, but outside the forum directory it does not change.
I did a response.write on strCookieURL and saw that outside the forum it is giving me the external file. So, it appears there are two application variables:

1) strCookieURL = /forum/ strPageSize = 5
2) strCookieURL = /site/ strPageSize = 15 <<- This one is not getting updated for obvious reasons. But, I'm not sure how to isolate this.
Any advice?

The variable is stored in the table CONFIG_NEW in the database, you can change its value via Admin Options -> Feature Configuration.
Like all other configuration variables, strPageSize is loaded from the Application Object in config.asp.

(The configuration variables are stored in the Application Object)

Have you tried setting cookies to website (Admin Options -> Main Forum Configuration)?<

Yes. It's been set to website for a while.
I logged-in via the Universal Login mod within the /site/ directory. That shouldn't affect this, though, right?
Where does strCookieURL get defined?<

Astralis,

I think your problem may be solved by replacing all instances of .path to .domain in the forum code

e.g. change this

Response.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User").Path = strCookieURL

to this

Response.Cookies(strUniqueID & "User").Domain = strCookieURL

Do you have more than one forum hosted on the same domain?<

Podge,

If I can avoid changing that, I'd like to because upgrading will be horrendous. I saw this quote from Richard Kinser in the upgrade topic:

This problem actually happens each time we update the version # of the forum. The value is taken from the Application Variable, but since that page is outside of the forum directory, there are actually 2 sets of Application Variables. For now I have just hard-coded the correct version, it will usually fix itself in a day or two.

It looks like I'm having a similar issue. Besides editing/creating a global asa file, is there another way to refresh the Application variables?<

Restart IIS.<

Thanks Podge. It will restart this evening. I think that's the best way.
OneWayMule, I only have one forum on the server although it's a shared host.<
